Mike was born and raised in Metro Detroit and went on to play baseball at Michigan State University. While at MSU, he was voted by his teammates for the Spartan Award—recognizing commitment, loyalty, and selflessness—and earned Academic All-Big Ten honors with a finance degree from the Eli Broad College of Business. His college experience reflects the values that continue to drive his professional life today.
Following graduation, Mike spent six years with a large firm in the Retirement Benefits Group, where he built a strong foundation in financial planning and client service. In September 2021, he launched Mestdagh Wealth Management to provide personalized financial guidance.
Today, Mike lives in Royal Oak, Michigan with his high school sweetheart and their two beautiful daughters. When he’s not meeting with clients, he enjoys golfing, cooking, and traveling.
Mike works closely with athletes, executives, and professionals who are looking for help navigating their financial journey. His background as a collegiate athlete and experience in the financial industry give him a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities his clients face.
Whether it's managing sudden wealth, planning for long-term financial security, or balancing complex compensation packages, Mike provides tailored strategies that align with each client’s lifestyle and goals. His approach is rooted in education, clarity, and long-term relationships built on trust.
Mike understands that his clients are busy, driven individuals who need proactive guidance and a streamlined planning process. He takes pride in offering a high level of service, so his clients can focus on what they do best—their own job.
As an independent Certified Financial Planner® practitioner, Mike takes pride in putting clients first. Free from corporate influence, his advice is always tailored to what’s best for each individual’s unique situation. This client-first approach is the foundation of his work.
With over a decade of experience, Mike brings valuable knowledge to the table—and what matters more is that he has many years ahead. Clients aren’t just choosing someone to help with today’s financial landscape—they’re getting a long-term partner who will evolve with them.
How Mike treats clients today will solidify his long-term reputation, which is a key priority. Rather than focusing on a personal succession plan, Mike is dedicated to building lasting relationships, fostering trust, and delivering results for decades to come.
As a Certified Financial Planner® practitioner, Mike is held to the industry’s highest fiduciary standard, meaning he is legally and ethically required to always act in your best interest. Our data-driven, customized approach ensures every decision is made with your financial goals in mind.
Our clients are athletes, executives, and professionals with over $500,000 in investable assets who are looking for strategic guidance to grow, protect, and preserve their wealth.
We believe in consistent communication and adjusting strategies as needed. Not only will you receive weekly updates from Mike, but we'll schedule regular check-ins based on your preference—whether it’s quarterly, biannually, or annually—to keep your financial plan aligned with your evolving goals.
Mike will help you set up your online login. And outside of the quarterly statements you'll receive, you can check on your account(s) as often or as little as you'd like.
At Mestdagh Wealth Management, transparency matters. We are compensated in two ways:
Working with an independent wealth manager ensures that your financial strategy is customized to your specific needs and goals, rather than a standardized approach. With the freedom to choose from a wide range of investment and insurance solutions, being independent allows Mike to provide unbiased guidance and tailor recommendations that truly align with your best interests.
We provide comprehensive financial planning, investment management, retirement planning, tax-efficiency, risk management, and wealth preservation strategies for high-net-worth individuals.
We have access to a variety of trusted custodians and investment platforms to best suit your needs. Your assets are held with a third-party custodian, providing security, transparency, and protection alongside professional guidance and management. This structure allows you to benefit from institutional-quality custodial services while still receiving personalized, independent advice tailored to your financial goals.
Mike focuses on low-cost, tax-efficient portfolios with statistically supported track records. Diversification helps manage risk and avoid being overly reliant on one asset class, while regular rebalancing keeps your portfolio aligned with your goals.
A second opinion is always a smart move when it comes to your financial future. Mike offers a complimentary review of your current portfolio and retirement plan to identify potential improvements, risks, or missed opportunities. Whether you’re looking for confirmation or a fresh perspective, you'll get unbiased insights to help you make informed decisions—no pressure, no obligation.
To provide the highest level of personalized service and attention, Mike is intentional with each client he brings on. This allows him to focus on each client individually, offering customized strategies, proactive communication, and unique financial guidance. By maintaining a focused client base, he ensures that every client receives the high-quality service and strategic planning they deserve.
